With Wi-Fi 6E support and a compatible router, the device lets you enjoy smoother 4K streaming even when several devices are connected to the internet. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max has racked up more than 7,800 five-star ratings on Amazon, with customers saying it’s a ‘game-changer’ and offers the ‘best streaming experience’.
One happy customer said: “This device is a game-changer for streaming enthusiasts. The setup was incredibly straightforward, and within minutes, I was immersed in a world of stunning 4K Ultra HD content. The picture quality is crystal clear, with vibrant colours and sharp details that make every viewing experience captivating.

Overall, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their home entertainment setup. Its superior performance, coupled with Wi-Fi 6E support, makes it an excellent investment for the best streaming experience.”
Another added: “Great streaming stick with superb picture quality. This is great as it also does 4K as well and the picture and sound are great. It’s very compact so will fit most HDMI inputs on your TV. Very fast when it comes to operating the device and selecting apps is smooth and trouble free. Very happy with this purchase and even thinking about buying another one even though they aren’t the cheapest streaming stick on the market they are well worth the money.”
However, although hailing the device as ‘brilliant’, another shopper said the included remote control is ‘flimsy’, writing: “Brilliant Fire Stick. This was easy to set up, quickly ready to go and has been a dream. It is responsive, there’s no lag time, the quality of the pictures are brilliant. Only (small) issue was that the remote is a bit flimsy and not particularly well made.”
